Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court on Thursday rejected Purdue Pharma's $6 billion opioids settlement immunizing the Sackler family, which controlled the drugmaker, from future litigation. In a 5-4 ruling, the judges agreed with the Justice Department which argued that the Sacklers, who earned tens of billions of dollars flooding the country with highly addictive opioids, should not gain sweeping legal protection in the controversial deal. The court held that "the bankruptcy code does not authorize this kind of order," with the majority opinion written by Neil Gorsuch and joined by Claren...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for women experiencing medical emergencies to obtain abortions in Idaho, but the ruling's narrow scope meant it was a muted victory for reproductive rights activists. The decision comes two years after the conservative-majority bench dismantled the nationwide right to terminate a pregnancy, making it a pivotal issue in November's presidential election. "The stakes could not be higher and the contrast could not be clearer," said President Joe Biden, who is neck and neck with Donald Trump in the tight race for the White House. ...

Des décisions déchirantes doivent être prises, comme cesser de soigner les graves brûlures d'un petit garçon de sept ans, parce que les bandages manquent et qu'il va probablement mourir de toute façon. Ces médecins et infirmiers américains ont été témoins d'horreurs et se sont aujourd'...

Washington (AFP) - Patients in Gaza's few standing hospitals are dying in droves from infections resulting from a lack of protective gear and soap, even when they survive their horrific blast injuries. And health workers are facing agonizing decisions, like giving up on a seven-year-old boy with extensive burns because bandages are in short supply and he'd have probably died anyway. These are just some of the horrors witnessed by American doctors and nurses returning from the besieged Palestinian territory, who are now on a mission to spread the word about what they saw and apply pressure on I...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court is set to allow abortions for women experiencing medical emergencies in Idaho, according to a copy of a verdict briefly posted on its website and seen by Bloomberg News on Wednesday. The court's apparent decision comes two years after the conservative-majority bench overturned the nationwide right to terminate a pregnancy, making reproductive rights a pivotal issue that could affect the outcome of the November presidential election. The ruling -- which Bloomberg posted in full, but is not necessarily the final version -- would reinstate a lower court's...

For healthy adults, there is no association between regular multivitamin use and a lower risk of death, according to a new study that analyzed data from nearly 400,000 healthy U.S. adults for more than 20 years.

Outdoor activity experts did a survey that pointed out the world's top ten fittest countries and Japan ranks first. Knewz.com has learned that the United States did not feature anywhere in this statistic while Japan scooped the apex position for life expectancy too. Measuring countries’ citizens according to eleven determiners of their ability to perform in physically taxing scenarios, the survey factored in nicotine and alcohol consumption, overall fitness, life expectancy, disease, and death. Using these markers, the study found that Singapore was the second-fittest country in the world and ...
